engadget.com— In what's likely to go down as the most heavily accessorized (and harmful) controller ever, Nintendo's Wiimote sure is garnering a lot of attention from accessory makers.

These are pretty lame accessories, but the controller port on the Wiimote opens some interesting possibilities. The Wiimote could dock with all kinds of accessories to provide power, motion sensing, and wireless capabilities cheaper than creating them from scratch. A wireless Guitar Hero controller, steering wheels, gun controllers, pinball flippers, leg sensors, whatever. I'm sure they'll come up with things we can't even dream of. Most of them will be cheesy, but they'll be cheap, and cheesy can be fun (at least for awhile). Joytech should be ashamed of themselves, but I'll forgive them if their recharging station works well: <a class="user" href="http://gear.ign.com/articles/751/751651p1.html">http://gear.ign.com/articles/751/751651p1.html</a>
How can you not understand that you're supposed to pretend the wii remote is whatever object you're using.I'm guessing you don't play raving rabbids or else you'd be out shopping for a plastic cow on a chain attachment.

Make your Wiimote feel even more realistic.

You don't have to aim to select menus. You can use the D-pad to select.
